Hey guys, let's just talk for minute about how I'm doing with this quitting smoking business. First and foremost I'm on day 7 and I still feel like I want to wrap my hands around anyone's neck who gets in my way. I think this may be due to total withdrawals (I've called it withdrawal syndrome) they say after day 3 you should be fine, (day 3 was the WORST DAY OF MY LIFE) but....it didn't get any better and it also didn't get any worse...I do have these intense feelings of irritability, restlessness and I'm finding myself to be very snappy. In general, I physically feel good about myself, I feel like I can finally take a deep breath, I have more energy--actually--I've been in kickboxing for a year now and my SIFU (couch) after a year he says to me the other night "wow, where you getting all this energy from" LOL after a year he says this...some of the things in which I have done to help me quit is the patch-I also chewed that Thrive gum while on the patch but Nicoderm and my doctor suggested otherwise---(don't do this as your body is taking in to much nicotine and it will be harder to quit) blahh blahhh blahhhhh...so, I started chewing regular gum and I don't know if any of you have chewed Nicorette or Thrive but you have to park and chew, so I started doing this with the regular gum...this actually helped a great deal...I started this habit of clicking a pen and I haven't been able to put that pen down since...I even fall asleep with it..LOL...espcially while driving I find this helps the most because I was so used to smoking while driving...drink lots of water and most importantly change your routine...exercise a great deal for you will feel nothing but hunger after quitting...anyways, other then the withdrawals this is prolly the the best decision I've ever made and the hardest...not gonna lie, this is the hardest thing I have ever done. Any of you all that smoke should HIGHLY consider quitting....!!!!!
Your funny..Its awesome that your quitting! I dont think I can quit. I just give in when I crave it, I dont want my body to be unhappy so I give it what it wants lol
ReplyDeleteKeep us posted on how it go's
listen, not going to lie its really hard but in all reality its mind over matter...im currently on day 13 and i feel grrrrrrrrrreat...lol you can do it, you can do anything you put your mind to and its ok to give in while quitting (i didnt) but thats what nicoderm said lol. I was calling them for support, the first day i quit i had the patch and i called them and said "what in the fuck is up with this motherfucking patch, it aint doing shit" and they were like "oh, are you sure" lol but in all reality my friend, it was working and it was just the MAJOR withdrawls talking for me..once you get passed the 7th day, its all good!!!! anyways, you will know when your ready, but you have to be ready!!
